The magazine’s central section also includes an article about the Logistics Training Centre’s medical corps training company.
 
The System section includes two more interesting stories - about libraries in the defence system, which are "a source of knowledge and a testament to national identity", and a report on the assistance provided by the Serbian Armed Forces to the communities, supplying them with water and repairing their roads.
